They can't recognize you from your score, it isn't nearly unique enough and subject to change.

They use a combination of your name, social security number and residence address to recognize you.

They also ask challenge questions, such as about bank accounts you have or previous residence addresses,

as secondary security verification.

I was thinking the credit bureau may recognize me for having an outstanding score?  I read an article about a man in 2012 had a score of 848 and he was sent a letter from the credit bureau saying his score was higher than 100% of all Fico scores.  Mine is 1 pt. higher than his.

Higher than 100%? You would think the credit bureaus would be better at math.

It was saying he had the highest score ever at 848

A least a few members of this forum have managed to obtain a score of 850...not sure if they received any kind recognition though, perhaps someone will chime in.

I am curious... Congrats on your score, it shows a great deal of restraint and perseverance. Are you looking for a parade? I would think the rewards and getting great rates and apporovals is enough. Is there something else?

Congrats on your 849 score!  But yeah, I don't know the percent but I believe there are quite a few folks who have an 850 score with FICO Score 8.  Still, it's an accomplishment to be proud of.

Congrats on a fantastic CS. However, I have never heard of special recognition from a CRA for a score.
